Rowena (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Absolutely fantastic holiday | The riding took us through forests where we could gallop along sandy firebreaks and on the beach for more fast work, spaced with walks to take in the views. We took the horses in the sea and we had regular stops on each ride to take photos. The rides were exhilarating but the horses were safe, responsive and surefooted. I loved every minute of it.

Judy who has been on 9 In The Saddle rides. Wonderful riding holiday | Rachel does an amazing job matching horses to riders, the dynamics of the group and weather conditions - no mean feat! I rode 3 horse and they were all fit, responsive, eager and well schooled. Think forward going but with good brakes if needed, and this is exactly what you get. Lovely riding through the forest and on the beaches. Lots of canters and gallops too. Jose kept us fully informed on the rides about any changes of pace and checked regularly to make sure everyone was ok. Early mornings to enable us to ride on the beach meant setting off in the dark which was a new experience for me, but they are so well organised it wasn’t a problem at all, and we got to see sunrises too.

Selina who has been on 8 In The Saddle rides. Another great time at Los Alamos | As always, Andrew, Rhiannon, Rachel, Jack and Denise looked after us impeccably, with lots of support from Hose and Roberto out on the rides. The level of attention to detail is amazing and the chilled atmosphere, despite the frenetic activity that must be happening behind scenes, is just incredible.
Lovely rides on great, well-schooled and cared-for horses.

Samia who has been on 3 In The Saddle rides. Fantastic! | The riding met my expectations, great horses very responsive and very gentle to handle.
I was able to ride 4 different horses during my trip it was really enjoyable.

Anne who has been on 2 In The Saddle rides. Stupendos Los Alamos!! | Los Alamos as a riding holiday experience far exceeded my expectations (and they were quite high as two friends have been previously). The horses are so well cared for and loved and are super fit and forward going. Rachel is an expert at matching the horse to the rider's experience and she got it right perfectly. I had two horses during our stay to ensure the horses get rested, but I could have changed again if I wanted to. I fell in love with both the Spanish mare called Camboria and the Arab gelding called Rio. The trails through the Forest and beach are very relaxing, mixed with canters and adrenaline-pumping gallops. I was transformed into a big kid and could actually race my mate on one gallop. We were very lucky with our group of riders as they were all interesting people from mixed backgrounds/ages and were accomplished riders.
The horses are carefully selected so you can choose your own pace.

Mid week we went on a trip to the Spanish Riding school and that was a good experience.

In a nutshell I loved it so much that I've already booked for next year so that say's it all!

Dawn who has been on 2 In The Saddle rides. Relaxing holiday with horses | Excellent

Nicolette who has been on 2 In The Saddle rides. Fabulous! | Excellent

Julia who has been on 3 In The Saddle rides. Amazing | Yes it met every expectation and more!
I absolutely love this holiday. Everything about it is incredible. Rachael, Andrew and Rhiannon are so helpful, hospitable and friendly and it felt like going home, I settled in straight away. I just can’t wait to go back again. It helped riding the most wonderful horse, Hercules who is so suited to me.
Thankyou for literally the holiday of a lifetime. First class, well done team for catering for all our needs

Tessa who has been on 2 In The Saddle rides. HORSE HEAVEN | This was my second visit. The riding was both relaxing and exciting, The location was stunning, the horses were fit and feisty but well trained.

Emily who has been on 25 In The Saddle rides. Lovely riding through the forest and beaches of rural Spain | I had high expectations for this ride due to its reputation for being the best selling ride in Europe and for the number of people who return year after year and it didn’t disappoint. Rachel knows her horses inside out and is able match riders to their perfect horse. The horses are all immaculately cared for. The scenery is picturesque with a blend of forest trails with some lovely beach gallops.

Louise who has been on 19 In The Saddle rides. Enjoyable | Great riding as always. Safety of rider and horse uttermost. Breathtaking gallops and fast canters.

Ros who has been on 17 In The Saddle rides. Fantastic, exciting holiday. | I had a bad riding accident, 3.5 years ago but managed to get back in the saddle a year after. However I was missing fast riding in open country. In Spain the weather (end of May) was glorious, if quite hot. I had 3 lovely horses to ride and the riding exceeded my expectations. We had exciting long canters and gallops in the umbrella pine forests and along sandy beaches. I went on my own but both our hosts, Andrew, Rhiannon, Rachel and Jack and the other riders (who had been before) were so welcoming, that I felt at home. The horses were fantasic, well cared for and matched to each rider. My favourite of the 3 (Portabello) was my first ride and a joy to ride but it was nice to be able to try a couple of other horses as well. I felt really safe despite have lost some of my confidence after the accident.

Lesley who has been on 7 In The Saddle rides. Amazing | The riding was exceptional the horses were well schooled and responsive. Rachel matched horses to riders brilliantly.

[Abbie from ITS replies: So pleased that you enjoyed another great week at Los Alamos! Thanks so much for your feedback].

Pauline who has been on 3 In The Saddle rides. Amazing | Fantastic riding, perfect horses and Rachael and the Team go above and beyond to make sure everyone is happy.

[Abbie from ITS replies: How lovely that you enjoyed your return visit to Los Alamos. We're so pleased that you had another great trip!].

Caroline (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Fabulous riding in a beautiful setting. | Exciting but also safe riding on well trained horses suited to the work. Very professional and friendly yard owner and guides. A really fantastic experience. Early morning beach gallops and fast fun in the firebreaks but also gentle walks through flowering areas of the forest with the horses crushing wild oregano under their hooves. Magical.

Helen (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Fabulous Horses, Fabulous location, Fabulous Hosts | The rides were well planned and varied. Stunning views and wonderful beaches.
Our group were well matched in riding ability. Everyone was experienced and up for the thrill of fast riding when conditions were appropriate.

The horses are wonderful! Well schooled, keen, fit, responsive and very forward going. The riding is not suitable for beginners.

Rachel puts a lot of thought into matching the right horse with the right rider. She truly loves and understands each horse in her care. Jose and Roberto are both excellent horsemen and it was a privilege to be under their guidance whilst on horseback.

The riding and the horses were beyond my expectations, and my expectations were high!

Thank you xx

Hanne who has been on 3 In The Saddle rides. Best riding holiday ever | Excellent

Jane who has been on 21 In The Saddle rides. Absolutely fantastic | The horses and riding always meet up to my expectations.

Sissel who has been on 4 In The Saddle rides. Fantastic riding holiday at Los Alamos! | I had a fantastic time the horses are so well trained and really looked after (this is very important) I liked the way they gave me the opportunity to try different horses and challange myself on strong and very fast horses. Tremendus guides and the hospitality is excellent at both the stable and at the house. This was my second time at Los Alamos but not the last.

Joanne who has been on 2 In The Saddle rides. Incredible | Myself and my sister in law have had a fabulous holiday at los alamos, the horses were incredible, sensitive, kind and very strong throughout including varied terrain, woodland, and sand were they gave us a safe and happy ride.
Our accommodation was great and everything we wished for was provided from lunches out at local restaurants to home cooked meals in the evening! We even managed a swim in the pool! We are definitely returning next year! Thank you

Emma (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Fabulous in all respects | The riding was exactly what was advertised and I loved my horse ( Karim)
For my next holiday I would go for longer hours in the saddle, but that is absolutely not a negative comment on this trip. It was exactly as billed.

David who has been on 11 In The Saddle rides. Excellent

Dani (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) A truly special holiday | Excellent

Rachel who has been on 26 In The Saddle rides. Perfect riding holiday | All riders were beautifully matched to their ability. I rode a few different horses this week and loved them all. The horses are fantastic as is the organisation and guides. Thank you Rachel, Jose and Roberto for looking after me so well.

Karen who has been on 3 In The Saddle rides. Good | this was my second ride at Los alamos. Andrew, Rhianon and Jack absolutely amazing and could not do enough to make the stay enjoyable. however I was a bit disappointed with riding. I feel like I did something wrong when I rode in May as I was not given any of the horses I like to ride until I made a bit of a fuss about it on the last but one day. If I did something wrong in May it would be nice to be told. Also it feels like regulars get preferences on horses. [In The Saddle replies: Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We are pleased you had a good time overall, and have followed up your comments with Los Alamos. They say you have absolutely done nothing wrong in the past, and they are sorry you felt there was preferences given. They also agree that the food at one of the bars at lunch time was not of the usual standard. This was due to staff shortages, but is now rectified.]

Netta who has been on 7 In The Saddle rides. Fabulous | I always love the riding in Los Alamos. I have never been disappointed and all the horses are well cared for.

Martine who has been on 2 In The Saddle rides. A wonderful experience | Los Alamos never fail to impress. We had yet another great stay and enjoyed every minute. The horses are so well cared for, and so well behaved. The atmosphere is relaxing and welcoming, and it was great to celebrate Christmas with the Los Alamos crew, including fellow guests. Highly recommend!

Chris who has been on 19 In The Saddle rides. My third time never disappointing | Always

Manna who has been on 2 In The Saddle rides. 12/10 totally recommend | Rachel does a fantastic job of hearing the riders out on their wants/expectations, taking into considerations personalities of riders/horses and making matches. I started with a sweet Arab that is easier to handle to start off to get used to, and switched to a gorgeous Andalusian that taught me so much in the 3 days with him. They can switch gears up and down very smoothly and the ride throughout felt very steady and energetic.

Arlene who has been on 13 In The Saddle rides. Great | Excellent facilities. Friendly family atmosphere. Andrew, Rhiannin and Rachel run a very well oiled ship.
